Thank you Walden Pond Press and Christopher Healy for allowing to once again be a part of The Hero's Guide Blog Tour. I am frequently placing this book series in the hands of teachers and students, and hand-selling it at my local indie bookstore. So, of course, when I was asked to participate I had to say "yes".

About the book:Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You think you know those guys pretty well
by now, don’t you? Well, think again. The Princes Charming, along with Ella, Snow, Rapunzel, and
Princess Lila are caught and arrested for the murder of Briar Rose. The heroes are simultaneously
shocked and sad to hear of this news. But a series of suspicious events leads them to believe that not
only is Briar still alive, but some unseen evil is working its way into the throne rooms of all thirteen kingdoms. It’s up to the League to break out of prison, find Briar, and uncover the nefarious plot before the entire country is destroyed.

This year I am introducing:
